And insurers don’t want to insure.

I am pretty sure my insurance company has a racket with the UW health system. UW bills at insanely inflated prices, insurance company covers 70% of it. I pay the rest and the insurance company gets kick backs.

Ok that’s fair

but still. Shrugging your shoulders and sticking out your tongue is a super crude test

About 15 years ago I had a similar strange issue. Doctor sent me through $15,000 worth of tests including a brain MRI, none of the tests found anything, to which he responded with "it is probably just Meiners disease, try a low sodium diet" which netted positive results in a week. Would have saved me a lot of time and money if he had asked about sodium intake and made the recommendations before I helped fund several of his mountain house payments. #1 rule in troubleshooting is rule out the cheapest and most likely causes first.

Depends on where you're sticking your tongue.

Right Alex Jones?

One reason why I have developed a habit of asking if dietary issues could be a contributing factor when something is up.

It doesn’t have to get fancy. But when Denver metro is 60,000 housing units short it’s a crime to have ugly blighted boarded up retail and empty giant parking lots. Build tons of apartments with ground floor retail already!

They are doing that here. Lots and lots of empty ground floor commercial space.

Once people realize they can actually walk somewhere to get a croissant or half gallon of milk this concept might take off

Building any kind of new unit eases pressure because people moving up, if you will, move out of somewhere else. Supply vs demand

Can confirm. But I'd wager it's closed right now.

Last time I was on East Colfax I didn’t look around and think “what these people need is a croissant”.

*Everyone* could use a croissant.

they need housing

and a substantial plurality basically needs a mother. a proxy for that that society can actually do would be supportive housing with a nurse within the building. keep them out of the ER--overall system costs lower.

*Everyone* could use a croissant and hot chocolate.

FTFY...

Let them eat cake

I was going to say pain au chocolat, but thought that might sound a little pretentious.

Let them eat cake

Mmmm... they should be able to get both at a proper French patisserie...

And now I'm hungry for croissants and cake.
